Five found shot dead across city | DAWN.COM
KARACHI, Sept 7: At least five people were found shot dead in different parts of the city on Friday, police said.
The bodies of two young men were found on the bank of the Lyari River in Old Golimar in the morning, said an official at the Pak Colony police station.
He added that the victims, in their mid-30s, were trussed up and blindfolded before being shot dead in the head.
The bodies also bore torture marks, the official said, adding that it seemed that the victims had been killed four to five days ago.
He said the police shifted the bodies to the Edhi morgue for want of identification after medico-legal formalities at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. A resident of Orangi Town was found shot dead near Sindh Hotel under a bridge linking Liaquatabad to Gulshan-i-Iqbal, police said.
They added that the Liauqatabad and PIB Colony police stations had some dispute over the jurisdiction of the area where the body had been spotted.
The body was later shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
A CNIC copy found from the victim identified him as Mohammad Shabbir, a resident of Nazimabad, Jalalabad, but it later emerged that he did not live at the address mentioned in the identity card, the police said.
The body was then sent to the Edhi morgue for want of identification, the officials said.
A victims nephew, Akhlaq Ahmed, later reached the morgue and identified the victim as his uncle. The police quoted him as saying that the victim lived in Orangi Town No 4. The deceased was employed at a marble factory. He had left for work on Thursday but didnt return, the victims nephew was quoted as saying.
Earlier in the morning, the body of a young man along with a new motorcycle was found in Ittehad Town, Baldia, police said.
The victim was identified as Mohammad Anwer, 40, a resident of Toori Bangash Colony, Orangi Town, said an official at the Mochko police station.
The police found eight spent bullet casings at the crime scene and shifted the body to the Civil Hospital Karachi for medico-legal formalities, he said.
The victim looked like an Afghan national, he said, suspecting some personal enmity as a motive for the killing.
A man was shot dead in Karimabad market on Friday night.
Abdul Rehman, 50, was standing at a fish shop where two suspects on a motorcycle pulled up and one of them pumped a bullet into his head, said an official at the Azizabad police station.
The suspects fled in the presence of a large number of onlookers in the market, the official said.
The body was later shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
The police official said that victim was a resident of North Nazimabad, Block S, and used to work at a steel shop on M.A. Jinnah Road.
He added that the victim belonged to the Deoband sect, but a spokesman for the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat said that he was not their worker.
The police were not certain about the motive for the killing. The murder could be a result of personal enmity or part of the ongoing sectarian attacks, said an officer of the Azizabad police station.

I understand that at least one policeman died defending the U.S. embassy or consulate in Friday's riots. I want to thank the police for showing such great dedication in the face of mobs and political incitement of violence. I wish America would find some way to honor the fallen officer.

Karachi: A fresh bout of target killings hit Pakistan's biggest city again, leaving 13 people including four brothers, dead over the last 24 hours.
The four brothers who were said to be workers of a religious party, Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat were gunned down in their car at a roundabout in the New Karachi area.
Police said the brothers were sitting in the car late last night when assailants on two motorcycles opened fire on them killing them instantly, while injuring one passerby.
"The four brothers were running a coaching centre in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and had no criminal records," a police official said.
He rebutted reports that the four belonged to the extremist Sipah-e-Sahaba organisation.
Besides the four brothers, three other people were also killed yesterday and the spate of killing continued today as target killers gunned down six more people.
In the city's Surjani Town area, two people associated with a political party, were killed when unknown assailants opened fire on them.
Similar firing incidents in New Karachi and Mominabad areas killed two others and injured one.
Tension gripped some parts of the city where the killings took place.
Karachi has been hit hard by such killings with over 1100 people killed this year in the city.
The menace of target killings which are either ethnic, religious or sectarian in nature has resurfaced after a brief lull.
Official figures state that since January this year when 55 people were gunned down, the number of people killed is around 1100 and 600 injured.
